A third of E.coli infections are now resistant to antibiotics and those who are infected with resistant strains are twice as likely to die. Fiona Reakes-Wells @TheNSAMRC @DrDianeAshiru @Rabia_Ahm3d #TheNSAMRC

There was some very interesting questions for the panel including:
- Should AMR a part of healthcare student's curriculum?
- Why can't we develop new classes of antibiotics?
- Can AMR bacteria in food cause AMR in people?

[The National Students' AMR Conference @TheNSAMRC]

For the final session of the day we had a multi-disciplinary panel "Why am I worried about AMR? Dental, Nursing, Veterinary and Medical cases"
Speakers: Rakhi Aggarwal, Dr Stephen Bentham, Fiona Reakes-Wells, James Russel, Dr Phil Thomson, Chioma Achi and Jaspreet Dhanda.

[The National Students' AMR Conference @TheNSAMRC]

There was some very interesting questions for the panel including:
- Do we see cases of AMR in animals or just in humans?
- Which field contributes the most to the problem of AMR?
- Can antimicrobial cleaning products lead to resistance?

Projects and partnerships which are using behaviour change as a tool to tackle AMR
- Commonwealth partnership for antimicrobial stewardship
- The change exchange project, lead by behavioral scientist and psychologists (case study of two hospitals in Ghana and Uganda)

[The National Students' AMR Conference @TheNSAMRC]

The fourth talk of the day was by Dr Lucie Byrne-Davis on using behaviour change techniques to improve antimicrobial stewardship in Ghana and Uganda!

Key learning points:

-Knowledge alone doesn’t change behaviour
-Behavior is caused by capability, motivation, and opportunity.
-Impulsive plays a big part how we behave.
